It's been a few weeks since I last went saw those two traitors. I've actually moved on. But things just had to be worse; I was gonna see Luke and Cass tonight for a reunion. I'm not related to Luke, neither does Cass, but Mom decided that we could bring our boyfriends in. And I'd thank Cass for bringing Luke, but I'm too much of a damn screw up.

I've texted Mom that I was busy, but she'd always tell me : " What's more important, Ella? ". And so, I'm here at the parlor, getting my hair curled. I decided to wear a simple floral sunday dress with sunny orange flats to match it. I never actually cared about my looks and all, but tonight. Who knows? I can probably hook up with my pillow.

I paid the fee and went out of the parlor. I felt the warm summer breeze pass by, and smelled the scent of cotton candy and ice cream. This place is my hang - out. When I was a kid, my Mom took me here, and we were eating cotton candy, getting our nails polished and playing the instruments by Joey's Musical. I never thought that a few years more I'll be here still, preparing for another reunion for the family of Tremaines.

My father was rich. He fought battles for our country, and came back every single time. But when I knew he wouldn't be back, I told him to get me the nearest tree branch, so that when he saw it, he'd remember me. My annoying step sisters, who were married, wanted dresses, shoes, curlers and many more. I could've slapped them right there, knowing my father won't be alive for much longer. Cass - well she's mh biological sister. She's at my age. She went abroad because my Father's riches were decreasing.

I rode my car, passing the street. It was almost time to go. I could've been happy right now. I could've been kissing look at every stop light. I could've been taking the long way home with him, but instead, I was wasting my time, alone. I miss him, even though he did soemthing trecherous to me. It's rather okay that he broke my heart though, so I'd know how it would feel to try and fall in love. Love. Was that even it? It couldn't be.

I was already on my way to Mom's. My grandpas, grandmas, uncles, aunts, nephews, nieces, cousins, stepsisters, stepdad, sister, ex, mom, dad's ghost, and Molly, my dog were waiting for me. I recieved hugs, kisses, gifts and a shirt that said TREMAINE 2015. Then, mom's said traditing of sleeping in the house was done. All of us in rooms. But, the adults, along with the pre - adults got to drink and talk, while the kids ( some got to play ) were to have their own slumber party. I didn't want to drink, so I settled at the couch, watching TV.

I've seen Luke and Cass, but they hadn't exactly interacted with me. They would just glance at me, but I would just ignore them. I haven't bumped into them for the moment, so I'm guessing my luck's returned. Did I mention that I'm now wearing shorts and a tank top? I probably didn't.

" Ella! Get you ass in here! " I heard my uncle Rick call. I was used to him doing that, he was the side of the family who was rich, but didn't rub it on anyone's face. In fact, he was the most cheerful guy I've ever met. But now, it isn't a good time to call me, especially when my sister is sitting beside Luke, and beside them is where I was supposed to sit.

I silently walk to the rounded chairs, and pursed my lips, inching my chair away from Luke. " So, how are you and your lovelife, Ellie? " Aunt Frenzie asked me. She was uncle Rick's wife. I gulp down a sob.

" I - uh - I don't think I wanna talk about that, " I said, practically shrinking in my seat. Everyone's eyes were on me. I ignored the, and lowered my head, so nobody saw my glassy eyes. I couldn't much think of another topic, " How about Cass' ? She has a more interesting story to tell. " I said, glancing at Cass. Her cheeks were flushed and she was staring at me in shock. She knew I wasn't that brave to do that, but look at me, I'm not that girl I used to be.
( that fudging rhymed )

She shook her head, sweat gathering in her forehead. Luke tensed, holding Cass' hand. I rolled my eyes at their patheticness. " I'll tell them for you, " I said, as they all averted their attention to me. I smile, showing off confidence. " Let me tell you how, this girl I call my sister, not only took my boyfriend, but also, ruining my whole life. " I paused, glancing at Cass, who was welling up tears in her eyes. I laughed, silently. " At first, she never wanted me to live, actually. She almost killed me in my sleep when we were 10. Then. She knew she wouldn't get away from killing me, so she just started to spread dirty rumours about me every school we attend in. Then she started lying to our own mother about me. She told her lies about things I do in school, to her, at home and basically everything. She told my friends that I was a filthy monster, when she didn't even glance at the mirror to see who was the real monster. Then, I finally got what I wanted, a boy friend. One that'll care about me and'll never exchange me for my oh - so - sweet sister; or so I thought. A year later of having a relationship with my boy friend, she suddenly just had to intrude, hadn't she? The thing was, I never did anything to her. Nothing - " I said, tears brimming in my eyes, but ofcourse she still had confidence to tell me what she thought.

" Yes, you did something. You did. " she said, crying her heart out. It's nice seeing her like this, for all I've been though. Everyone was looking at us. Even Luke was crying.

" Oh, you're still here? " she nods, hesitantly. " Then, what the heck did I fudging do? "

" You were fudging born. "

I couldn't take it anymore. I let my tears fall. I hit myself all over. I ran away, going in my car, I drove away. I heard mom calling me, tears in her eyes, and I even heard her muffle cries. I drove past everything. I drove and drove, until I couldn't. Until I heard sirens and I could feel nothing. I wish I could just go away, and die. That's what everyone wants, right? Especially Cass.

No one needs me. Besides, I'll meet dad again. And that'll be the most precious gift anyone would ever give to me. I love my mom, but she wasn't even there at times I struggled most. She was always beside Cass, comforting her when she thought Cass was having heartbreak because I stole her boy friend.

" Lavender's blue, dilly, dilly. Lavender's green. When I am King, dilly, dilly, you shall be queen. " I heard a soft, calming voice sing. I always enjoyed those times mom sang to me, and now, I'm enjoying it much better. But when I opened my eyes, I couldn't believe what I was seeing.
